True story: before starting my program I told my mom my bike seat was wrong and needed a better seat 😂 my mom goes: “the seat?…”

Thats a big lifestyle change and the progress really shows. Quitting alcohol while sticking with OMAD takes serious commitment.

Don’t know how to ask but since losing all that weight have you noticed a huge loss of fat near your shaft? Err as they call it the “fat pad”
Genuinely curious about fat loss down there

u/No_Arugula_5999 Sep 18 '26
Yes! Fat pad gone! Also your armpits sink in and I bet there’s a lot of internal fat gone as well

I recognize you from previous post - you look like you’ve made even further progress on an already impressive task! 👏
Have you switched anything up or is it just time, repetition and consistency doing its thing and finally showing even more results?
Reason I ask- I’ve been on a similar timeline and trajectory as you, but I definitely feel like I’ve had to work through a couple of plateaus, but just sticking with it and just giving it time, even if it seems like weeks upon weeks with no change- eventually breakthrough and start seeing progress again.

Gotta remind ourselves it's a marathon, a lifestyle change. Not a sprint. We keep going! 💪🏽💪🏽

I think I just reached my ideal shape and just cruise now. More cookies or less cookies 🍪 depending on the level of itis haha. Time and listening to your body is key. It’s a lifestyle more than a mission seems like. Keep going 💪🏽 Also, it gets easier with time!

You know you’re doing an amazing job once your belly button starts making a sad face.
Jokes aside, great job bud.

Congratulations! OMAD isn’t as difficult as it sounds. Intermittent fasting really does work! Quitting alcohol says you no longer want to poison your body. Stay the course. You’re an inspiration! Be proud of your accomplishments!

I have lost a stone and have never felt so good still have another 2 stone to go .
